lol. Intimates are poorly constructed, but we also ask a lot of them. In all seriousness though, I have repaired undies and bras and gotten another 6 months to a year out of them.

Yup. Everyone has to buy something. The point is to direct people to do that at places that are LES evil rather than giving in and saying “nothing matters I guess I’ll just do whatever.” Defeatism is collaboration.

No. Being politically active is of the upmost importance to me right now. I’m exhausted, but this election year is a matter of survival for queer people.

That’s weird because all except prusa are Chinese made. My issue with Bambu is that it is a closed ecosystem, but they are undeniably very capable machines.

I really had no idea what I was getting myself into with that one, coming from Player of Games.

Look no further than the world’s militaries for this. They drill drill drill until soldiers react automatically without having to think about how they will react in a hostile situation. Its not enough to learn what to do once if you want a fast response.

I’m sorry, I had assumed you were a young student. I hope that things get better for you.

I’ve been there. Hang in there, adulthood is better.

Bikes are an order of magnitude less dangerous by virtue of being an order of magnitude less massive.

So what you’re saying is pogo sticks and stilts are fair game?

I keep coming back to Mint+cinnamon as my daily driver and debian+xfce on older hardware. They just work and both distros and DE are simple and familiar coming from win10. There are enough built-in customization options for me to get the desktop looking how I want it but I don’t have to spend a day configuring it if I don’t want to. It might be a basic choice for basic people, but I was up and running in about an hour and after a month of not booting into windows I wiped that old drive to make room for data. I may switch over to LMDE at some point, but that is more philosophically motivated than an actual need.

There’s something to be said for simplicity.

Imagine being so afraid of people who have slightly different beliefs from you that you think moving to a dictatorship is a good idea.
